Returns either an integer representing an IPv4 address or an ipv6-address object from the given IP address string.
The
string-ip-address
function takes a string in the standard dotted IP address notation
a.b.c.d
and returns the corresponding integer IP address.
The function
string-ip-address
takes a string and tries to parse as an IP address. If
ip-address-string
is in a proper dotted IP address format, it returns an integer representing an IPv4 address. Otherwise it tries to read it as an IPv6 address using parse-ipv6-address (with
trim-whitespace-p
nil
), which returns an ipv6-address object if it is successful or
nil
if it fails.
